The following information comes from Mike Alexander,
who lives in the state of Washington.
Mike himself is a re-enactor, with the 4th US at Fort Steilacoom WA,
and he likes to keep up with what the 8th Missouri is doing:

The picture at the top of the page is my great-grandfather Joseph Pope.
I believe the photo was originally taken from a tintype. He mustered into Company D,
and was transferred to company B.
Private Joseph Pope was wounded at Shiloh and spent the rest of his time as an orderly
in a field hospital.

After the Civil War he moved to Seattle and was a carpenter who built homes.
His daughter May G. Pope married my grandfather Ira Alexander, and my father
Kenneth Alexander was their son.

INFORMATION FROM ROOTSWEB:

Joseph Pope was born on May 24, 1843, in Cleveland, Ohio.
